when a singularity bomb explodes there is no noise from a blast, it just creates a small portal from which anti matter leaks into our universe. part of the antimatter is the past, the past leaking into the present time colliding in a way it was never designed to. the radiation emits in a 360 degree radius, it doesn't stop unless the fracture is healed and what has changed remains, it can't be undone. i imagined the city would be over run with this type of energy, morphed into something unimaginable, i was not sure if any life could survive it. we had outrun the leak, but we would always need to keep moving forwards, attempting to get further away, but in the back of my mind the awful truth was taking hold, the further we get away from it the closer we head towards it.

i stood over the seeping cat girl, part of me wanted to wake her, and take her with me, running until time itself runs out. but it was better to let her sleep, in a few hours the singularity energy would wash over her, it's better if she didn't see it coming. i looked for the cat, it was nowhere in sight.
as i reached the door she spoke, 'fuck you mister, you can't leave me here.'
i stopped in my tracks, 'there's no way out from this, we can outrun it but it will catch us.'
'then why are you running away'
'i'm not i'm going back to the city, right back to the centre of the singularity.'
'the what!'
i explained what had happened, the way the military had developed this device, experimental weaponry. something must have gone wrong. she listened but i don't think she really believed me, the cat leapt up into her arms, the sun started to hack into the room past the blinds in strange laser like lines.
'i'm coming with you, maybe i can help.'
'well i'm just warning you, there's no telling how this will effect us, we will change, our molecular structure may mutate, our faces may melt, i just don't know.'
'what are you going to do in the singularity.'
'i'm not certain, but i will try to stop it, somehow, plug it at least, there must be a way.'
'we have nothing to loose but time.'
i waited for her to get dressed, we drove back the way we came, back to what was once a beautiful city.
